The Devarim rags are several-thousand-year-old mystical rags, typically worn as a suit, that grant the user mystical powers. They are used by Rory Regan, otherwise known as Ragman.

History

The rags dated back to the ancient time of Devarim[1], the biblical period when Moses and the Israelites wandered in the wilderness after leaving Egypt before arriving in the promised land.

Rory wielded the rags, using their mystical powers. He eventually handed them down to his son, to carry on the legacy.[2] The son used them on Genesis Day to wrap his son, also named Rory, in them to protect him from the nuclear fire. Because of the rags, the son was left as the only survivor of Havenrock. Due to this, he sought to track down Janet Carroll, the CEO of AmerTek, whose subsidiary had made the nuke that had destroyed his hometown. However, he was convinced to let his vendetta go by Oliver Queen, who persuaded him to use his powers for good, joining Team Arrow.[1] Wearing the rags, Rory joined the team on a mission, using them to provide backup for his team mates.[3]
